There are plenty of 9/11 families that want the investigations to be made because they believe that Bush was the one that is making a conspiracy theory with this hijacking rubbish.

So please save us the rhetoric.

now things depend on who is being convinced by what. if u think for instance that it's more probable that the twin towers were rigged to collapse rather than that the buildings were hit then as an after effect collapsed then we are from two completely different audiences.

the same applies for tower nb7, in the most positive outlook for the conspiracy theorists we will find that the cause of that tower going down is unknown. note "unknown", it's very different from "rigged".
Rudy said something out of concern, what he said could have been probable, and it could have been less probable, but it didn't take a miracle for him to come up with the notion that the building was risky and probably going down when it was ON FIRE and god knows what else.

i am not being apologetic here, no, i'm just pointing out that it is clearly more probable that this is what happened instead of that alternative weirdo explanation. that's Occam's Razor for u, Occam's Razor doesn't imply that the stupidest answers are the correct one, it implies that the answers based on the lesser amount of "assumptions" are "probably" the more correct ones.

i didn't say that the images were manipulated, no sir (or mrs), i clearly implied that images do not tell the whole story. and then i gave more probable explanations for why there weren't that many debris. it's nothing new in that field i assure u.

if the pentagon refuses to show u those pics for his internal reasons, what does that prove exactly ? absolutely nothing, that's the real and sad fact.
the difference between what i want to believe and what i can accept as reasonable belief is very different here.
so if they don't show us the pics it proves what again ?? a cover up ? a cover up for what? their internal security issues ?

If u want an incident to start ur own political agenda look no further, all the powers do that dirty game but it doesn't mean they did it to themselves always.

it's very similar to the insanity that we have right here in lebanon.
some ppl tell u syria is behind the killings, other say it's israel or the lost ppl of Atlantis, but without proof, without investigation those words amount to nothing really. c'est la vis, what can i say.
the investigation that was done into the 9/11 incident was way more sane and reasonable than the ones that independent paranoid "free-thinkers" like to think that they have pinned down. they have no proof, they have assumptions.
their weakness is their problem, they cannot expect others to follow suit blindly like that.

I don't fall easily for conspiracy theories. In fact, I don't believe at all that any of the 9/11 attacks were inside jobs...

Videos are done very professionally, they show web news sites images, they show smoke going out of weird places in the towers, then they get lawyers, firemen, simple people, and not architects to talk about why the buildings collapsed... They show the same pictures many times and bring "experts" to talk about them...

Anyways, I'm sure many things are unclear, many things are hidden or lost, and surely the government are withholding valuable information, but it is certainly not behind the attacks, nor is it defending those who did them.

I got to admit two things:
- first, it is true that the images of the explosion inside the Pentagon are impressive and don't show the plane hitting it. But on the other hand, why doesn't the video include the 10 to 20 seconds before the explosion? Explosions don't happen when the target gets hit, but afterwards, and in this case, seconds later!
- second, the building 7 collapse is a mystery! I am also of those who believe such a building can't just collapse like that. And it is true that it looks like it is professionally done (with the inside implosion thing), but maybe this was done for security reasons (so that it doesn't collapse on other buildings) or reasons beyond our knowledge. But after the Pentagon was hit and that the two towers collapsed, you're not gonna tell me that destroying another building (whatever was inside it) was a necessity!

I don't buy it!

Believing those conspiracy theories shows how little you know about what happened on that day of history. If you think the US would self-inflict such a blow then there are no limits to your imaginary conspiracies.

The world is full of information and disinformation; it is up to you to have a good background to be able to know the difference.

Red Phoenix guess what I do not believe in God. Nor in anything that does not really exist. Therefore, I ask a lot of questions and I expect to be answered or else my curiosity, my doubts and anything that can go through my mind remains unanswered and thus, no one can blame me for having doubts.

First of all Guliani talked about the twin towers not about the building numebr 7, I did not get to which building you were referring when talking about him.

Reagrding your whole post, well I could say that yes indeed all what you said MIGHT have happened, as well as MIGHT NOT. See you do not give me anything concrete anything of proof, you say maybe the Pentagon does not want to share photos, maybe pictures did not show debris although they maybe were there, maybe there was a reason to bring down the building 7 and maybe not.

So in the same token, maybe the Pentagon are not showing any pics because they have none, because they made up the plane or rocket or whatever thingy, maybe building 7 was brought down just for the heck of it, maybe the iron did not actually melt and the building were made to fall, and maybe Guliani is not Michel Hayek and he maybe knew something about it and maybe, just maybe, the plane was not actually brought down by the terrorists but maybe it was hot by a rocket, and maybe the whole show was well coordinated by Bush and gang. But again MAYBE.

Oh and by the way, long posts do not bother me, in the contrary I appreciate the time the poster puts in them, however, what I was criticizing is the fact that your post was long and did not actually present any substantial proof or convincing material. That's it.

Why wouldn;t the US self inflict such a blow? Let's see because the Bush administration values human life? Because they are sensitive, caring individuals? Because they are not power seekers, fuel possessed creatures who would even kill their own mother to reach their goals? Why explain please.

I was watching a morning show and watched the entire event unfold.
When the buildings fell I knew I was watching controled explosions,the same as any demolition.

I heard reporter accounts of explosions.

I know what I saw and people need to follow their own good instincts and common sense.

I don't know who was behind 911 but I certainly don't believe a word of the official story.

People by nature are trusting of their leaders.This is part of the human condition.


This human trait is not always advantageous to us.

Trust your own good judgement.
